Murder Call is an Australian television series, created by Hal McElroy for the Southern Star Entertainment and broadcast on the Nine Network between 1997 and 2000. The idea to the series was born from books of the Tessa Vance series by Jennifer Rowe: Suspect/Deadline and Something Wicked. Both books were integrated as episodes in the TV series.

Synopsis

With a young high-tech 1990s feel and just a touch of 1940s retro charm, Murder Call follows a classic clue–puzzle plot, combining mystery, action and suspense, spiked with humour, romance and a touch of the bizarre.

The series deals with the cases confronted by an unconventional team of homicide detectives, Tessa Vance and Steve Hayden. Backing them up are:

  • The boss – Inspector Malcolm Thorne
  • Pathologist – Dr Imogen Soames
  • Forensic officer – Dr Lance Fisk (he got a Ph.D)
  • Crime scene photographer – Constable Dee Suzeraine

Production

Murder Call was filmed in Sydney and unlike a lot of shows based in Sydney, often shot the less spectacular side of the city. The exterior of the Homicide station was filmed at Ashington House (formerly AFT House/Delfin House), on O'Connell Street in Sydney.
